Shownotes

After 59 days, 18 food services, and 1,400 meals cooked and served for those in need across the Eastern states, Dave, Cara and the girls are home.

This Welcome Home episode was recorded in person, a first for the three of us.

You'll hear Dave and Cara reflect on the trip: where their commitment to community first came from, how their expectations shifted over the two months, their appreciation for everyone who supported them along the way, how they held up as a family, and what they're taking from the experience now that they're back.

Dave and Cara speak openly about what they saw and who they met on the trip, and share some genuinely moving moments for both of them.
